Abstract

Energy storage is an important feature in renewable energy based power systems especially in small isolated applications. This paper describes a sequential Monte Carlo simulation method for incorporating energy storage capability in generating capacity adequacy evaluation of such systems. Time series models were used to simulate the generation/load characteristics of a power system. Energy storage state time series were obtained from the load time series and the available generation time series and incorporated in the overall system adequacy evaluation. The impact of energy storage on power system reliability performance is investigated using example systems containing wind energy and/or solar energy
